Pop album by Kelly Clarkson
Kelly Clarkson could have played herAmerican Idol-propelled career much differently, languishing in the role of dippy ingénue or shunting her musical development by leaning too heavily on overnight stardom. Instead she dug in her heels and allowed … see full wiki

It's funny that, as big of an American Idol fan as I am, I had never bought a CD from an American Idol until now (though I had been given Clay Aiken's first CD as a gift and LOVED it). I'm so glad I bought this one. We all know Kelly has a powerhouse voice, but this CD shows that her talent has staying power. I have only listened to the CD all the way through 2 or 3 times so far, but I have liked nearly everything I have heard, and I like that there is some variety in the tempo.

'Breakaway' surely proves that Kelly Clarkson is more than a contest winner. Her debut 'Thankful' is good, but her follow-up is even better. On her first C.D. she showed she could master a variety of pop forms, but in some ways it was still a try-out. Here she showcases her ability to perform pop music fluidly and with great power. The singles are her best material, but the other songs, while usually not as great, are never filler. "Breakaway," the opening title track is … more

I've been hearing Kelly for some time now and she's defiantly no "American Idol Fluff". She solely deserves all those awards she had rack up last year. Kelly has a lot of honesty on this album. She really put herself out there on songs like "Because Of You." I thought this album would be fill with typical ballads but Kelly has managed to do what I thought was impossible. She's impressed me and made me love her voice even more! Kelly had more than proven her vocal capabilities … more

I usually hate the contest shows on tv and do not watch them at all. Kelly Clarkson has gone way beyond anything that I thought could come out of one of those shows. The tracks Since You've Been Gone and Breakaway make the CD worth getting. The rest of the CD is excellent and shows that Kelly is probably one of the top female performers that will have staying power.

Pros: Kelly can sing; some bright spots! Cons: Dark, morose, depressing music. The Bottom Line: Lets hope Breakaway is a phase, and not the direction all of Kellys music will take in the future. There are two over-riding themes on Kelly Clarkson’s latest album Breakaway: agonizing heartbreak and heavy metal, both of which should be taken in small doses. Now I like Kelly oh-so-cute Clarkson, and I love her voice, I just … more

There couldn't have been a more perfect title to this, Kelly Clarkson's sophomore effort. "Breakaway" is just that, a new direction for a very talented artist. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of stuff here for fans of her days on "American Idol" and her "Thankful" album. Clarkson provides for this in tunes like "Because Of You," "Where Is Your Heart" and "Beautiful Disaster." But the real gems here are her edgier tunes like "Breakaway," "Addicted" and "I Hate Myself For Losing You." These tunes … more

Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway is an excellent CD. Most of these on the songs on this album are about different aspects of falling in love or breaking up with someone, but I enjoyed it anyway. My favorite song is the title track. It is a great song about asserting your own independence and living your own life. I have loved this song ever since it appeared on Princess Diaries 2 soundtrack this past summer. The other hit on this album is the song Since You Been Gone. It is a song about moving on with … more

Pros: The songwriting is a lot better here than on Thankful, the material is more mature Cons: The album can come off as depressing at times (read review) The Bottom Line: Breakaway is a great departure from Thankful, but a good one. Now I'm just wondering if she'll continue in this direction with her next album... When I think of Kelly Clarkson, I think of American Idol. I think of her movie (that I LIKED, even though it flopped), … more

Thankfully, American Idol alumni such as Kelly and, to a certain extent, Clay, are truly breaking away from the sugary trappings of the show and forging their own identities and unique sounds. While Kelly's first album was a good showcase of Kelly the singer, this album is an amazing showcase of Kelly the singer of songs that mean something to her. She and her handlers have smartly realized that the hackneyed Britney/Hillary/Ashley types have mostly worn out their welcome … more
